TUSCALOOSA -- Wide receiver Duron Carter has verbally committed to Alabama, his father Cris Carter confirmed on his Twitter feed.

Duron Carter, who is the son of former NFL All-Pro receiver Cris Carter, had 44 receptions for 690 yards and 10 touchdowns in nine games.

The former Ohio State and Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College product also considered LSU and Miami. He was in town this weekend, and was expected to attend the Crimson Tide's closed scrimmage Saturday afternoon at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Carter (6-5, 210 pounds) is a former high school All-American from Ft. Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas, who was at Ohio State in 2009 before academic problems forced him to transfer to Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College last season.

Duron Carter is expected to enroll at Alabama this summer, and could be a huge boost for the receiving corps. Alabama lost star receiver Julio Jones, who left a year early for the NFL.
